A judge at Galway Circuit Court has apologised to a victim of domestic violence for what he called "this stupid and ridiculous legal system".

Judge Brian O'Callaghan was speaking at the adjournment of a sentencing hearing due to the ongoing legal aid fees dispute.

He said no dispute should warrant the deferral of cases like this.

DONALD TRUMP SAID he gets to host the World Cup and 2028 Olympics because “they rigged the election”.

The president told a reception of the international football governing body Fifa in New York he “was supposed to not be here right now”, in reference to the second and final four-year term he would have served if he had won the 2020 election.

Trump’s comments come after he renewed claims in a prime-time TV address to the nation on Thursday that the White House race he lost to Joe Biden had been stolen from him, despite evidence to the contrary.
